(7k words both yesterday and today, asking for follow-up reading)_2 Xiang Dingqian called it—the Heavenly Gang General!
However, summoning the Heavenly Gang General was too strenuous for the Bronze Early Stage.
Not only did it consume a great amount of energy, but it also placed an enormous burden on the body.
Xiang Dingqian could only hold it for five minutes at most and would have to lie in bed for several days afterward.
But in this situation, winning was the most important thing!
Xiang Dingqian’s eyes shone with divine light as he held his long spear, stepped forward, and charged out!
The Heavenly Gang General, formed from condensed Heavenly Gang Energy, also charged forward with the Fangtian Halberd in hand.
In an instant, it reached the two Hellfires, sweeping its halberd across.
“Sweeping Thousands of Army, kill!”
With a flash of silver light, the Fangtian Halberd slashed across the chests of the two Hellfires.
A few stones were chipped away by the halberd’s tip, and two gaping wounds, each several centimeters deep, appeared on the Hellfires’ chests.
The two Hellfires roared in anger, swinging their fists towards the Heavenly Gang General.
Xiang Dingqian was forced back a few steps, groaning, but a hint of delight flashed in his eyes.
“Effective!”
Unleashing the Heavenly Gang General could indeed break through the Hellfires’ defenses relatively easily.
Moreover, the enemy’s fists had limited power against the high-density Heavenly Gang Energy of the Heavenly Gang General.
Xiang Dingqian felt a surge of joy and thought he could handle it.
He needed to hurry and push back the two Hellfires, then defeat Su Yuan!
Just as Xiang Dingqian felt ambitious and prepared to face the Hellfires again,
Su Yuan gave the two Hellfires new instructions.
The green flames in the Hellfires’ eyes flickered, and both roared.
Star Power surged!
Fire and earth elements frantically swirled around the Hellfires!
Immediately, a layer of charcoal-black Deep Rock Armor rapidly accumulated from the Hellfires’ feet, quickly covering their entire bodies.
The Evil Energy Green Flames burning on the Hellfires’ bodies were blocked but turned into large green patterns engraved on the Deep Rock Armor, providing even more efficient energy to the Hellfires.
That wasn’t all.
The two Hellfires extended their hands, and an Evil Power Greatsword made primarily of deep rock and engulfed in surging green flames quickly formed, held by the Hellfires.
In just a few moments, the Hellfires completed their transformation, their aura shifting from chaotic and violent to deep and intimidating!
This was Rock Creation!
A Blue Skill that could only be comprehended after [Hellfire Summon] was enhanced to Perfect Level!
Whether it was the Greatsword or the Armor, although not at Blue Grade, they were still top-quality Green Star Devices, stronger than Su Yuan’s own Dragon Armor Saber!
Seeing the Hellfires armored and wielding greatswords, Xiang Dingqian was momentarily stunned, his face twitching.
ƝονǤ0.ᴄο
He gritted his teeth and once again charged forward with the Heavenly Gang General.
The two Hellfires did not hold back, swinging their greatswords at the Heavenly Gang General.
For a while, the sound of “clang clang” echoed in the field, the sound of the Heavenly Gang General being struck by the greatswords.
Even with two fists, one could not fend off four hands, let alone two Hellfires equipped with sword and armor, relentlessly attacking!
The damage suffered by the Outer Path Avatar also reflected back to the main body.
Within two minutes, Xiang Dingqian was struck by the Evil Power Greatsword over a dozen times, wracked with intense pain, blood gushing from his mouth, staining his clothes red.
Another minute passed, and the Heavenly Gang General was already deformed from the blows.
As the Hellfires swung their swords once more, the Heavenly Gang General could no longer maintain its form, exploding with a “bang” and dissipating into Heavenly Gang Energy within a few seconds!
Xiang Dingqian, suffering the backlash, was sent flying about ten meters by the exploding energy.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face turning pale, unable to continue fighting.
Slumped on the ground, Xiang Dingqian looked at the approaching Hellfires and the distant, calmly standing Su Yuan.
His mind went blank, a deep sense of helplessness rising within him.
He had defeated six Bone Wolves, yet Su Yuan summoned two Hellfires.
He unleashed the Heavenly Gang General, hoping to defeat the Hellfires, but Su Yuan immediately equipped the Hellfires with armor and weapons.
It felt like no matter what cards he played, his opponent always heightened the stakes, crushing him further.
“So, you were playing with me all along?…”
Xiang Dingqian suddenly realized that perhaps Su Yuan was merely toying with him.
As a genius from the Capitol City Xiang Family, he was actually being toyed with by an unknown peer, yet he vainly thought he could resist?
The two Hellfires finally stopped before Xiang Dingqian, making no further moves.
“It seems the outcome is decided.” Qin Jia took a slight breath when she saw the Hellfires stop.
Qi Tian nodded: “Wrap it up and take Xiang Dingqian for treatment.
With such severe injuries and the backlash from the Outer Path Skills, he’ll be bedridden for ten days or half a month…”
Qin Jia nodded too.
But just then, a flash of silver light appeared, and their expressions changed slightly.
On the field, Xiang Dingqian only saw a blur before Su Yuan appeared in front of him, holding a long knife.
As their eyes met, Xiang Dingqian saw Su Yuan’s beautiful yet cold silver eyes, feeling a chill in his heart.
An impending sense of death overwhelmed him, his face showing panic.
“No, I su…
Ah!!”
With a flash of cold light, a scream echoed.
Xiang Dingqian clutched his left face in pain, blood seeping through his fingers.
Moments later, an ear “plopped” to the ground.
Instantly, the entire arena fell silent.
The newcomers in the aisles and stands were all shocked, watching the scene.
Unlike normal damage sustained in a match, Xiang Dingqian clearly opened his mouth to surrender, yet Su Yuan still cut off his ear.
Everyone stared at the bloody ear on the floor.
Though it was far away, they all seemed to smell a faint hint of blood.
At that moment, Qin Jia quickly stepped in, standing between them.
“He has already surrendered.
Why aren’t you stopping?” Qin Jia’s voice deepened.
Su Yuan responded, “When I drew my knife, he hadn’t surrendered yet.”
Qin Jia stared at Su Yuan, frowning deeply.
Though Qi Tian informed her that Xiang Dingqian had tricked Su Yuan into suffering a loss at the Dragon Bone Sect’s dragon head in the south, Su Yuan deliberately injuring an opponent inclined to surrender during a non-lethal duel was rather egregious.
However, he didn’t break the rules.
He didn’t take a life, disable limbs, or destroy someone’s foundation.
In fact, having an ear cut off wasn’t considered a serious injury and could be reattached.
Yet, the act itself was not severely harmful, but deeply insulting.
Seeing Xiang Dingqian in pain, Qin Jia ordered, “Pick up your ear!”
Xiang Dingqian, realizing it, endured the pain to retrieve his ear.
“Ah Tian, take him to Teacher Lan!”
“Got it!” Feeling Xiang Dingqian’s injuries, Du Jingtian glanced twice at Su Yuan before carrying the heavily injured Xiang Dingqian toward the nearby infirmary.
Qin Jia looked at Su Yuan, frowning: “I will report this matter.”
“Alright…” Qi Tian also approached, saying casually, “The fight is over.
We’ll discuss the rest later.
Clean up the Real Battlefield and proceed with the next match.
Su Yuan, you may leave.”
“Yes.”
Su Yuan responded, sheathing his Dragon Armor Saber and recalling the Hellfires before leaving the field.
As he walked by, the newcomers involuntarily cleared a path, eyes filled with fear.
After this fight, all the newcomers in the arena understood that this seemingly ordinary and refined young man was not easy to deal with.
Whatever you do, don’t provoke him!
